tour through the country several years ago Remenyi
played at Whitewater and while there invited 10

violin which no carefully deposited a sofa In tho
parlor shortly aherward several young ladies who
were there to meet the great vlOlnist went into tho
palor, and removing tho violin from the sofa stood
II up In one corner OF the room. When RemeEY
entered the room again he noticed hiS violin on tho
hoor; he seized It and exclaimed, My Princess on

misses and scolled them roundly for putting his
Princess the floor.
There was present at the same time pianist who
